  • User data areas 52 are disposed between the servo data areas 50 in the data tracks 19 .
  • FIG. 9 shows a portion of the servo data area 50 .
  • the servo data area 50 includes a track identification information recording area 50 A, a burst pattern recording area 50 B, and a repeatable runout (RRO) compensation data recording area 50 C.
  • track identification information recording area 50 A track identification information that indicates track addresses of each data track 19 in Gray code is recorded.
  • burst pattern recording area 50 B a burst pattern is recorded.
  • the burst pattern consists of four burst pattern rows A-D that are arranged in an arrangement direction of the data tracks 19 (in a direction of arrow B) or, in other words, in the radial direction of the magnetic disk 18 .
  • each signal recording area 50 a - 50 d constituting the burst pattern rows A-D respectively, both a dimension in the radial direction of the magnetic disk 18 and a clearance from the adjacent signal recording area are equal to a pitch P of each data track 19 .
  • the signal recording areas 50 a of the burst pattern row A and the signal recording area 50 b of the burst pattern row B are arranged in a staggered manner in the radial direction of the magnetic disk 18 and both ends of each area in the radial direction of the magnetic disk 18 correspond to the width-direction center of the data tracks 19 and, here, the burst pattern rows A and B are formed by the fact that signals are recorded in each area.

  • RRO compensation data 51 for compensating the RRO is recorded.
  • the RRO compensation data 51 is obtained by calculating movement of the magnetic head with respect to an inertial coordinate system from a measurable positional error signal and adding the movement of the magnetic head to the measurable positional error signal.
  • a plurality of data tracks 19 are formed concentrically with the pitch P.
  • the magnetic head 20 reads and writes information on each data track 19 in the circumferential direction of the magnetic disk 18 (in a direction of arrow A).
  • the present invention aims at providing a servo controller that performs positioning of the magnetic head accurately without increasing the amount of the RRO compensation data described above even when the magnetic disk 18 is shifted due to disturbances such as an impact and the center of the data tracks 19 deviates from the center of rotation of the motor hub 16 , as shown in FIG. 10 .
  • An exemplary implementation of this servo controller will be described with reference to FIGS. 1-6 .
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a servo controller 100 that controls magnetic head 20 so as to follow the data tracks 19 .
  • the servo controller 100 includes: a phase correction circuit (H) 101 ; a peak filter (C) 102 ; an adder 103 ; an RRO generation circuit 104 ; and a subtractor 105 (correction module). While a control current for driving the VCM (P) is output from the adder 103 and input to the VCM, a servo data signal (positional information) read by the magnetic head 20 , the movement of which is controlled by the VCM, is fed back to the servo controller 100 as a signal x, to which external noise e such as RRO or an impact is added.
  • the subtractor 105 subtracts RRO compensation data y from the positional information signal x resulting from the servo data signal read by the magnetic head 20 .
  • a positional information signal u in which the RRO is corrected is output to the phase correction circuit 101 .
  • the phase correction circuit 101 receives the positional information signal u from the subtractor 105 , detects deviation of the current position of the magnetic disk 20 from its target position and, then, calculates movement of the magnetic head 20 (the amount of control by the driver unit 24 ) and supplies it to the VCM as the control current.
  • the peak filter 102 has narrow band characteristics that exhibit high gain for frequencies up to the sixth order, as shown in FIG. 2 . Therefore, low frequency components generated when the magnetic disk 18 is shifted as shown in FIG. 10 are removed by the peak filter 102 and, as a result, are not input to the phase correction circuit 101 . Based on the servo data signal from which the low frequency components such as those generated when the magnetic disk 18 is shifted are removed, the phase correction circuit 101 performs servo control of the magnetic head 20 so as to allow the magnetic head 20 to approach target tracks accurately.
  • the track identification information and the burst pattern can be used to allow the magnetic head 20 to follow the low frequencies generated when the magnetic disk 18 is shifted. Therefore, the RRO compensation data do not have to include the low frequency components and track addresses.
  • the block diagram of FIG. 1 can be expressed as a block diagram of FIG. 3 .
  • A(z) can be expressed by a stable polynomial of z and determined for system stability.
  • a stable system can be designed by satisfying the following expression:
  • FIG. 3 is a positive small constant and its value is determined so that a Nyquist diagram of the open loop function of this figure does not pass through the point ( ⁇ 1, 0).
  • FIG. 4 shows a block diagram equivalent to FIG. 1 at this time.
  • Z M ⁇ 1 in the RRO generation circuit 104 does not pass all frequency components, its output u is zero.
  • low frequency components are not input to x due to the effect of the peak filter 102 and, therefore, not included. Because u is equal to zero, x is equal to y and, therefore, the RRO correction value can be found by knowing y.
  • C may affect harmonics several orders higher than the peak frequency and, as a result, P and C may be increased and errors may occur in estimation of e. In such case, such frequency components may be removed by composing an FIR filter that operates off-line without time delay.
  • the RRO compensation value y After the RRO compensation value y is measured, its value is written to the RRO compensation data recording area 50 C of the magnetic disk 18 as the RRO compensation data 51 .
  • the RRO compensation data 51 may be written to memory such as Flash ROM.
  • the RRO compensation is performed by reading the RRO compensation data 51 for each sector and giving it as y in FIG. 1 . Further, as y is an estimated value of the disturbances e actually, C and H do not have to be completely the same as those when the RRO compensation value is measured.
  • the RRO compensation can be performed while excluding RRO in unnecessary low frequencies. Therefore, the magnetic head can be positioned accurately without expanding the RRO compensation data.
  • FIG. 5 shows a flow chart of the process for generating or updating the RRO compensation value y described above.
  • the process includes obtaining servo data Xn from the disk; calculating output of the peak filter C; obtaining Xn and Yn and using them as inputs to the phase correction circuit H; calculating DAC output value from the outputs of C and H; and calculating Yn+1.
  • FIG. 6 shows a flow chart of the process in normal operation.
  • the process includes obtaining servo data Xn and Yn from the disk; calculating output of the peak filter C; obtaining Xn and Yn and using them as inputs to the phase correction circuit H; and calculating DAC output value from the outputs of C and H.
